Can a Broken Check Valve/Vacuum Breaker for Factory RV Tank Flushing Systems Cause a Leak

Question:

Would this part cause a leak under the fifth. The one in the camper broke. When I turn the water on where this part is located water doesn’t come up the top of hose but water run under the fifth. My question is will this part since it is broke will it cause water to run back down to tubes. Any information would be very helpful.
